December 21, 2025We loved having Santa at our party. He was timely and SO much fun! We had a toddler age group and the kiddos are still looking up to see Santa and talking about their list. He sang, he talked, he 100% had their buy in and that is hard with toddlers. Our experience was exceptional and I would rehire and recommend in a heartbeat. All the parents were talking about how nice his costume in and the grandparents were raving about what a nice job Santa did. Thank you again so much! Our family won’t get to be together like this for another 3 years due to deployments, thank you for making this so special!

Katy, thank you so much for the kind words. Visiting with your kiddos was just a joy and really special because most children at that age shy away from Santa for what ever reason, but yours did not! Truly wonderful time with them and your family. Glad they are still talking about or looking for Santa! I'd be delighted to visit with your family again.
All my best to your family at Christmas,

Thank you Michelle for the kind words and lovely review. I and Mrs Claus (Gina) would love to entertain at your next Holiday event. Everyone was wonderful and I was delighted to interact with the kids, pass out the gifts and pose for the photos. Please contact us at your earliest convenience when you have a date for next year, as we want to make sure we have that day open for you. Give my best to Donald Hill (GM) for hosting such a wonderful party.
Warm Regards & Merry Christmas,
Singing Santa - Karel King & Mrs Claus

December 17, 2025Santa was absolutely wonderful! He arrived right on time, full of jolly spirit, and immediately brought Christmas magic to our party. He was engaging with both kids and adults, incredibly kind, and more than happy to take photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better Santa experience!

Kendra, what a wonderful time I had celebrating the Holidays with your family and friends. Truly a magical time for me passing out gifts to the kids. The look on their faces is just priceless. Getting everyone to sing on my way out is always fun and a joy. I would love the chance to celebrate the Holidays again with you. Reach out anytime I can be of service.
Warmest Regards & Happy Holidays,
Singing Santa - Karel King

December 15, 2025Santa & Mrs. Claus were the absolute sweetest! They were kind, patient, friendly & SO fun. They even had a few surprises in store - sleigh bells & sunglasses! They made our event perfect - from the grand entrance, to taking time with each guest, and even mingling once the photos were done. Behind the scenes, just two of the nicest people you'd ever meet - and VERY communicative! I am so happy we found them! Will be rehiring for our event next year without a doubt.

Shanna, thank you for the very kind words! I loved how thorough you were with taking pictures. I think you need your own pro set up! It was just wonderful seeing the Holiday videos played on the video walls. Just outstanding! You and your staff were so friendly and accommodating. Just a joy to work with you! Very much looking forward to working with you again, hopefully in the near future. Reach out anytime I can be of service!
Warmest Regards & Happy Holidays!

When I arrive, I usually have bells on or in hand to make a grand entrance to the event or party. As soon as I sit down, I'm ready for one on one visits with kids of all ages. I'll ask a child what they would like for Christmas and do my best to keep the magic alive in their minds and hearts. I encourage everyone to take a picture with Santa. I'll pass out any gifts you may be providing for your family and guests.
Hello! I'm a senior aged gentleman that LOVES all things Christmas. Have been performing as Santa for over 10 years. Some notable accomplishments is that I was the Singing Santa at Frosty's Christmas Pop-up Bar in Chicago for several years. Therefore I love to sing Christmas songs with guests. Also was a Macy's Chicago Santa for a season. I've led the Lemont, IL Paws Parade for a couple years. Have appeared at several retail stores such as Bloomies in Old Orchard Shopping Center.
I pride myself with having the best costume possible, as you may see that my beard is made from natural hair, not synthetic material. I've recently added a 2nd costume to my collection, the famous Tim Allen jacket from The Santa Claus movie. Can be worn open or closed with or without a belt.
In addition, my very own Mrs Claus is available for visits as well. She is absolutely terrific with kids and is a very good buffer, when needed, with very young ones visiting Santa for the 1st time. Unfortunately, any man with a large beard may be seen as a bit scary and Mrs Claus can quickly help calm their fears about Santa. We make a great team! I can also provide small gifts to pass out for certain events, for an extra nominal fee. Reading "Twas The Night Before Xmas" is available when time permits at any event or private party. I do have an extremely large gift bag and can pick up several gifts when I arrive and walk in with them.
I look forward to the opportunity to celebrate the Holidays with your guests, whether they be family members, friends & neighbors or co-workers. Please contact me with any questions or special requests.
The Happiest of Holidays to you and yours,
"Singing Santa" - Karel King
